With this "Wants & Needs" prioritization chart, we can visualize the interplay between wants & needs, understand the permutations & tailor our thinking accordingly. .
.
[Low Want/Low Need]
Things in this quadrant can be safely ignored.
.
[Low Want/High Need]
Items for which we have Low Want but High Need, are often not apparent. The key is to remind ourselves of the higher goal at hand and prioritize accordingly.
.
[High Want/Low Need]
The items belonging here are the ones we typically question using: "do we really need that?". We need to decipher what we really value & what we don't.
.
[High Want/High Need]
When our wants & needs are aligned, we have high motivation to pursue such desires or prioritize for such items. The key is accessing if our wants are truly our needs.

URBAN DESIGN is an interdisciplinary design field that utilizes elements of many built environment professions including architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, civil engineering and municipal engineering. In the case of The B_Line, urban design is being employed to not only bring sidewalks and lighting to our mile-long art walk and connect it to the Chicago Riverwalk, but it will also improve pedestrian and bike safety in this corridor using lidar sensors to alert impatient drivers that there is someone in their blind spot. Lights embedded in the street will change color or blink when bikes or humans are detected. Check out this swipe deck to see how we’re bringing different types of artists, designers, architects, and engineers together to create the world’s best walkable street art district. 🙌🏽 #design#urbandesign#architecture#urbanplanning#visionzero#visionzerochicago#cdot#bline#blinechicago#fultonmarket#fultonmarketdistrict#hubbardstreetmurals#chicago#art#streetart

As part of their final presentation for Nina Rappaport’s class Arch History + Research class, 3rd Years Sean + Matthew redesigned these Varnish Factory card deck illustrations into parking decals. Details to go along with their intervention on factory typologies.

Sitting on our Bancal bench, meet Emily - our new rep for Oregon & Idaho. We asked Emily why she joined Landscape Forms:⠀

Its reputation preceded it – Industry leader, design-driven, and quality all aligned with my own professional career. Also, having a friend who has been in the organization for more than +20 years, speaks volumes! Once I met more people and learned the history and story, I quickly realized that this was an amazing opportunity. And now I’m so grateful to be part of this team!⠀

Boston is the kind of city you fall in love with slowly but deeply. It’s a place with surprises and substance, but lots of subtlety. It’s not a show-off. But when you really discover all the soulful, brilliant, creative communities, you can’t help but become more and more devoted to the place. Today, I met several more wonderful Bostonians — many from other countries, but who’ve made Boston their home — including @panosapanay, @berkleecollege VP of Innovation and Strategy and Managing Director of the Institute for Creative Entrepreneurship (2nd photo), @daisy_robinton, cell biologist and science communication expert who did a PhD and post doc at Harvard and landed on the Forbes 30 under 30 list after already having become a very successful model, and @rodrigoatcg, Chief Officer of Marketing & Design at Veritas Genetics. They are more than their titles, but it gives you a sense of the diverse community of people who are dedicated to making Boston the best city it can be. Thank you, @hubweek & @linda_pizzuti, for organizing today’s event @explorateurbos. #boston#immigrantsmakeamericagreat#hubweek#bostonglobe#urbanplanning

On this day in 1888, master builder Robert Moses was born. Moses was, “…a larger-than-life builder and wielder of power who did more than anyone to shape the face of New York and provide its people with transportation, recreation, housing, and energy,” according to his 1981 obituary in @Newsday. “I’ve been charged with neglect, lack of vision and general obtuseness in road building, and with failure to anticipate the march of population to the suburbs…There will always be squawking no matter what’s done…the critics are always with us and none of the works of man are perfect… [people] must judge the merits of a project on whether it’s done more good than harm, “ said Moses, discussing his critics and work in an interview he taped for Newsday in 1981. Here, a cover of Newsday’s Magazine in 1974 features an illustration of Moses by Gary Viskupic.

Masters graduate, alhamdulilah. I’ve been interested in city planning since before I knew it was an actual career. When I was a kid, I would spend hours on the Sims building neighborhoods and browsing city demographics on Wikipedia (nerd?? probably, lol). Now that school is complete 🙌🏾, I hope to fulfill my childhood dream and work as a civically engaged city planner, striving to promote equity + efficiency in underserved neighborhoods through development and service. God willing this is only the beginning! Thank you to everybody that helped make this possible 💖 #LSE#MCP#urbanplanning#graduation#RUPS#partoflse#gradszn

🖌Different strokes for different folks. There are all kinds of different techniques for pedalling a bike. Everyone is unique and different
.
Colin @enhughesiasm came in today and understood that he was a heel dropper. Would we try to correct that? 🤔 Probably not. It’s very hard to “correct” pedalling technique but capturing kinematic analysis through slow motion video gives us an understanding of what we do. That’s called biofeedback
.
🧠 Let the Central Nervous System work out the most efficient firing pattern. You can’t “think” about turning on your glutes or fire 🔥 them at a rate that is impossible to sequence consciously. Your CNS will find a way to pedal a bike 🚲

Today’s fit was all about cleat position and promoting a good setup to improve postural stability and generating better force through the feet 🦶

Fourth years presenting their final projects yesterday for Urban Design, Planning + Housing Studio. And that brings a close to the semester! Well done on all who made it through and thanks to our critics especially for sticking around even when presentation ran late into the night.

Headlines from @denverpost and @dnvrite on last night’s City Council vote approving new zoning and affordable housing requirements for the Central Platte Valley-Auraria District ahead of redevelopment. The package also includes design standards and guidelines for the area, which is bound by I-25, Auraria Parkway and Speer Boulevard.
